These Deep Dark Brownies are a combination of espresso powder, cocoa powder and melted chocolate baked within the brownie. Extra chocolate chips are thrown into the batter too and sprinkled on top just before baking to make them extra decadent and worthy of consumption for the above-average chocolate fanatic. They are truly a brownie for Chocolate Lovers! This recipe comes from the guys at Baked (a bakery in New York City). They wrote a baking cookbook many years ago, and that’s where I discovered this delicious brownie recipe!
How to make Deep Dark Brownies:
This is a very simple recipe for brownies. The dry ingredients are a mix of flour, baking powder and salt. The chocolate mixture is a melted combination of butter, espresso powder and chopped semisweet chocolate. White sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla are mixed in too. Finally, the dry ingredients and the chocolate mixture are combined, along with some chocolate chips. This makes the batter for these brownies. A few more chocolate chips are sprinkled on top.
Can I leave out the espresso powder?
I prefer to bake brownies in a pan lined with parchment paper so that I can literally lift the whole thing out after cooling and remove it to a cutting board.
I’m a sucker for making sure I get as clean cuts as possible. And as much as people might like the edges, I usually cut all of those off first. You can cut your brownies any way you’d like. In the original recipe, these are cut into 9 good-sized Deep Dark Brownies. This is an extremely rich brownie recipe, so I cut these brownies into smaller pieces.
Cutting the brownies:
You should be able to get 25 small brownies out of this recipe. If you want bigger brownies, you can cut them in larger pieces. I like the way the brownies look when they have nice, clean sides all the way around. With this brownie recipe, that’s a difficult goal to reach since they have a rather moist texture. I recommend letting them cool completely before cutting. You might even choose to refrigerate them to get them as firm as possible before you make the cuts. Enjoy!
